Release Notes - v0.5.1

Observability Enhancements

OTLP Metrics Support

  • New metrics/ package - OpenTelemetry-native metrics with OTLP export support for structured metrics collection
  • Centralized OTLP configuration - Refactored configuration to internal/tracerconfig/ to eliminate code duplication across tracing, logging, and metrics
  • HTTP retry support - Added consistent retry configuration for all HTTP OTLP exporters to improve reliability

Enhanced Logging

  • Buffering exporter - Added OTLP log buffering to queue logs until tracing configuration is available
  • TLS support for logs - Client certificate authentication support for secure OTLP log export
  • Improved logfmt formatting - Better structured output for log messages

Tracing Improvements

  • HTTP retry support - OTLP trace requests now automatically retry on failure when using HTTP transport

Build System

Version Package Enhancements

  • Unix epoch build time support - Build time can now be injected as Unix timestamps ($(date +%s)) in addition to RFC3339 format
  • Simplified build commands - Reduces complexity of ldflags injection while maintaining backward compatibility
  • Consistent output format - All build times normalize to RFC3339 format regardless of input

API Changes

New Public Interfaces

  • metrics.NewMeterProvider() - Create OTLP metrics provider with centralized configuration
  • metrics.Shutdown() - Graceful shutdown for metrics exporters
  • internal/tracerconfig - Shared OTLP configuration utilities (internal package)

Dependencies

  • Added explicit OpenTelemetry metrics dependencies to go.mod
  • Updated tracing dependencies for retry support
